Question is, what do you do for "winter tires" if you want to still drive our ZL1's in lower than 40°F? Tire Rack for example shows no winter options for the car yet. There are quite a few times in Fall and Spring up here where it can still be fun to drive when the roads are clear. 28°F today.
You're right. As of now, Tirerack is limited to summer tires for the ZL1. If I had to pick from what they're showing, I'd probably go with the Pirelli or similar. The compound isn't as soft and not as susceptible to cracking. If I wanted true winter tires, I'd drop down to a different size to get more options. If I remember correctly, all the CTF cars run a pure winter tire. We might be able to dig up some pictures on here to see what they're running.
